Re: From -14.5 to -12.... is something being missed here?
 

zips love the spotlight. knocked off marshall last year in their nationally televised game.

Re: N. Illinois vs. Akron -- Am I missing something?
 

akron stinks for the most part.

NIU might have been over-valued because of their day-before-TGiving national-TV destruction of WMU.


Otherwise, I didn't even know who was playing in this game until yesterday and I doubt there's much value on either side of the line at 12.5 or 13 really.


Also - the original poster should get his life together and should give up sports-betting.
It doesn't sound good at all.
To answer the question though: Yup...lots of people have some sure-fire sports-picks for you. They won't all win though. Asking on a forum is idiotic.

WOW...someone sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. My comments were made in gest and I came to THIS FORUM - Sports Betting - to find out what other sports bettors think of the spread. Seems to me that's ABSOLUTELY within the spirit of the forum.

I'm sincerely apologetic that my making light of my losing the last two weeks has caused you such angst. What is idiotic is making as assumption based on what your perception of a post is.

Quite ashame too...I had much respect for your postings on many different topics. Not sure why you would make something like this a personal attack - see, get a life.

Here's some advice for you Bob - LIGHTEN UP, FRANCES!

"How about you give me the money you were gonna bet, I'll kick ya in the nuts, and we'll call it a day." Why don't you just save your money and give up sportsbetting? It takes years off your life as you watch desperately as a team fails to cover what looks like an amazing spread. If it was a good spread then the sportsbooks wouldn't offer it. On the other hand, go with Iona -2 tonight vs. Fordham large. $1000.

Nice pick. Jackass.

Never trust any team from Ohio is my philosophy.

And a good one. If OP is really from northern KY, he should have been following this philosophy since birth. Thereabouts are my roots.

Re: N. Illinois vs. Akron -- Am I missing something?
 

FWIW my beloved Sagarin predictor lines this game at 13.2 on a neutral field. There may be some kind of injuries involved that I don't know about, but the numbers alone don't point to this being a +EV bet.

If I had to bet my life I guess I'd pick Akron, because 14 is a key number and the spread is slightly more generous than Sagarin "thinks it should be" anyway.

Re: N. Illinois vs. Akron -- Am I missing something?
 

24-27 NIU with 7:27 left to go.

I ain't sayin' it's over, but I faded everybody at 12.5 and took Akron, and I'm on a huge rush lately.

Good a reason as any to me [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
